With this in mind, think about the grocery stores, the vegetables and fruits inside. Did they came from an intensive or organic farm?
Intensive farming causes a lot of damages to our lives and the environment, for instance it creates soil erosion. When trees and plant s are cut down or remove from a vast area to begin a farm, the wind sometimes blow the soil away or when it rains soil are washed away especially on the hillside. On the other hand, we are cutting down trees which obliterate our environment. To compare now and the previous years, we have more people being sick and more varieties of deceases . In my opinion, i think that most of these sickness comes from the food that we eat. This might be true, that the chemicals that has been used for the vegetables and fruits are still in them while people are purchasing them. I believe that the reason why intensive farming is being used mostly everywhere, is because of the profits the farmers get out of it.
Some of us fight to do what they think is right, but we never think about the consequences. Today intensive farming is still an active agriculture procedure that many people use. However, we are ruining our environment which we depend on. On top of my head, i think that we need to balance economy and environment in order to prevent conflicts between them, which we can get involve in.
